They give Him freely all they can,
They give Him clothes and food;
In this rejoicing, that the Man
Is not ashamed they should.
Enough He labours for his hire;
Yea, nought can pay his pain;
The sole return He doth require
Is strength to toil again.
And this, embalmed in truth, they bring,
By love received as such;
Their little, by his welcoming,
Transformed into much.
